· Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments when the router is operating.

Do not hold the handle of the fan tray or power supply, the handle on the rear cover of the chassis, or the air vents of chassis to move the router. Doing so might cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.

When moving the router, follow these guidelines:

· When moving the router, hold the handles at both sides of the chassis.

· Use at least two people to move the router.

· Move the router carefully.

Examining the installation site

The router can be used only indoors. For the router to operate correctly and to have a long service lifetime, make sure the installation site meets the requirements described in the following subsections.

Weight support

Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the router and accessories (such as the rack and interface modules). For the weights of the router and accessories, see H3C SR6616 Routers Hardware Information and Specifications.

Temperature

If the temperature in the equipment room is too high, too low, or changes dramatically, the router reliability will be reduced and its service lifetime will be shortened. For long-term, highly available operation of the router, make sure temperature in the equipment room meets the requirements described in Table1-2.

Table1-2 Temperature requirements

Item	Temperature
Operating Temperature	0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)
Storage Temperature	–40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)

Humidity

Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table1-3.

· Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion.

· Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including loose screws and circuit failure.

Table1-3 Humidity requirements

Item	Humidity
Operating humidity (noncondensing)	10% RH to 95% RH
Storage humidity (noncondensing)	5% RH to 95% RH

Cleanliness

Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.

Table1-4 Router requirement for cleanliness

Substance	Particle diameter	Concentration limit
Dust particles	≥ 0.5 µm	≤ 1.8 × 107 particles/m3

Corrosive gases can accelerate corrosion and aging of metal components. Make sure the corrosive gases do not exceed the concentration limits as shown in Table1-5.

Table1-5 Corrosive gas concentration limits

Installing a lightning protector for a network port

IMPORTANT:

· Lightning protectors are applicable to only 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet ports.

· Read the instructions for the lightning protector carefully before you install it.

· The router does not come with any lightning protector.

If part of the network cable of a copper Ethernet port must be routed outdoors, connect a lightning protector to the cable before you plug the cable into the port. The router provides this type of lightning protector: single port, residual pulse energy (8/20μs test pulse) 5 KA, output voltage (10/700μs waveform): core-core ≤ 40 V, core-ground ≤ 600 V.

Installation procedure

1. Use a double-faced adhesive tape to stick the lightning protector onto the router chassis, and make sure it is as close to the grounding screw of the router as possible.

2. Measure the distance between the protector and the grounding screw of the router, cut the ground wire of the protector as appropriate, and securely tighten the ground wire to the grounding screw of the router.

3. Use the multimeter to measure whether the ground wire of the protector contacts well with the grounding screw of chassis.

4. Insert the outdoor network cable into the protector's IN end, and the cable connected to the router into the OUT end, and look at the indicators on the lightning protector to verify that the connection is correct.

5. Use nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.

Figure3-3 Installing a lightning protector for a network port

(1) Lightning protector	(2) Grounding cable

Installation precautions

The performance of the port lightning protector might be affected in the following cases:

· The port lightning protector is installed in reverse direction. Connect the IN end to the outdoor network cable and the OUT end to the network port on the router.

· The port lightning protector is not reliably grounded. After the connection, use the multimeter to confirm that the ground wire for the protector is as short as possible to ensure its good contact with the grounding screw of the router.

· The installed port lighting protectors are not sufficient. If the router has more than one network port connected with other devices through cables outdoor, install a lightning protector for each network port.

Connecting the AC power supply to a power strip with lightning protection

CAUTION:

Make sure the PE terminal of the power socket has been securely grounded.

If part of the AC power line is routed outdoors, use a power strip with lightning protection to connect the AC power cord of the router to the AC power line to protect the router from being damaged by lightning strikes.

You can attach the power strip to the rack, workbench, or wall of equipment room.

After you connect the AC power cord from the router to a socket on the power strip, verify that the green RUN LED on the strip is on and the red LED is off.

If the red LED is on, use a multimeter to check the polarity of the wires in the power socket for wrong connections. If the zero wire (left) and the live wire (right) are correctly connected, check for missing grounding connection.

Figure3-4 Power strip with lightning protection

(1) Working LED (green)	On means the circuit is operating correctly; off means the circuit is damaged.
(2) Grounding/pole detection LED (red)	On indicates a wrong wire connection (the wire is not grounded or the live line and null line are reversely connected), and you need to check the power supply line.
(3) Power switch
(4) IEC standard socket	It is used to connect to the power supply in the equipment room through a power cord.
(5) Overload automatic protector	The protector automatically opens the electric circuit when the current exceeds the threshold and closes the electric circuit when the current drops below the threshold.
(6) Multifunctional socket	It is used to connect the power supply of the router.

Installing a surge protector

CAUTION:

Ground the surge protector as near as possible. The grounding resistance must be less than 4 ohms. The grounding resistance must be less than 1 ohm if there are special grounding requirements.

Generally, you need to connect a surge protector before connecting a signal cable to the router. This can protect electronic devices against surge over-voltage resulting from lightning strokes and other interferences, and minimize impact on the router.

The surge protector is serially connected to a signal cable, so the surge protector must satisfy the requirements of network performance indexes such as data transmission bandwidth, as well as the lightning protection performance requirement. Before installing a surge protector, consider such performance indexes of the surge protector as lightning protection, bandwidth, transmission loss, and port type.

The router supports the following types of surge protectors:

· Surge protector—Maximum discharge current 2.5KA/protection voltage 25V--SMB-75J/ SMB-75J-1W-10Mbps

· Surge protector—Maximum discharge current 2.5KA/protection voltage 25V-BNC-75K/ BNC-75K-10Mbps

· Surge protector (U port)—Maximum discharge current 3KA/common-mode 400V/differential mode 170V-RJ11

To install a surge protector:

1. Use a double-faced adhesive tape to stick the surge protector onto the router chassis, and make sure it is as close to the grounding screw of the router as possible.

3. Use the multimeter to measure whether the ground wire of the protector contacts well with the grounding screw of chassis.

4. Insert the outdoor network cable into the protector's IN end, and the cable connected to the router into the OUT end, and look at the indicators on the surge protector to verify that the connection is correct.

5. Use nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.

NOTE:

Read the instructions carefully before installing the surge protector.

Figure3-5 Installing a surge protector

Precautions

The performance of the surge protector might be affected in the following cases:

· The surge protector is installed in reverse direction. Connect the IN end to the outdoor network cable and the OUT end to the network port on the router.

· The surge protector is not reliably grounded. After the connection, use the multimeter to confirm that the ground wire for the protector is as short as possible to ensure its good contact with the grounding screw of the router.

· The installed surge protectors are not sufficient. If the router has more than one cable connected with other devices through cables outdoor, install a surge protector for each cable.

4 Connecting interface cables

Connecting the AUX cable

Overview

An AUX console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to the AUX port of the router, and DB-25 and DB-9 male connectors at the other end for connecting to the serial port of the modem.

Figure4-1 AUX cable

Connecting the AUX cable

1. Plug the DB-9 or DB-25 male connector at one end of the AUX cable into the serial port of the modem.

2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the AUX cable into the AUX port of the router.

Figure4-2 Connecting the AUX port to a modem

Connecting an Ethernet cable

Overview

10/100 Mbps Ethernet uses category-5 twisted pair cables, while 1000 Mbps Ethernet uses category-5 enhanced or category-6 twisted pair cables. Twisted pair cables include straight-through cables and crossover cables.

Category-5 cables provide a transmission frequency of 100 MHz for voice and data transmission; they are mainly used in 100Base-T and 10Base-T networks. Category-5 cables are common Ethernet cables, which can also be used to transmit 1000 Mbps Ethernet data.

Category-5 enhanced cables feature low attenuation and crosstalk, providing higher attenuation to crosstalk ratio (ACR), less delay error and higher performance than category-5 cables. Category-5 enhanced cables are mainly used in 1000 Mbps Ethernet networks.

Category-6 cables provide a transmission frequency of 1 MHz to 250 MHz, and improve the performance on crosstalk and return loss. A fine better return loss performance is extremely important for new-generation full-duplex high-speed networks. Category-6 cables have sufficient power sum ACR (PS-ACR) when working at 200 MHz. They provide a bandwidth two times than that of category-5 enhanced cables, thus featuring a higher transmission performance. Therefore, category-6 cables are suitable for applications requiring a transmission speed of more than 1 Gbps.

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet uses two pairs of cables, orange/white, orange, green/white and green cables, to transmit and receive data, while the 1000 Mbps Ethernet uses four pairs of cables to transmit and receive data.

An Ethernet twisted pair cable connects network devices through the RJ-45 connectors at the two ends. Figure4-3 shows the pinouts of an RJ-45 connector.

Figure4-3 RJ-45 connector pinout

EIA/TIA cabling specifications define two standards, 568A and 568B, for cable pinouts.

· Standard 568A—Pin 1: white/green stripe, pin 2: green steady, pin 3: white/orange stripe, pin 4: blue steady, pin 5: white/blue stripe, pin 6: orange steady, pin 7: white/brown stripe, pin 8: brown steady.

· Standard 568B—Pin 1: white/orange stripe, pin 2: orange steady, pin 3: white/green stripe, pin 4: blue steady, pin 5: white/blue stripe, pin 6: green steady, pin 7: white/brown stripe, pin 8: brown steady.

Ethernet twisted pair cables can be classified into straight-through and crossover cables based on their pinouts

For the pinouts of the twisted pair cables, see the following tables. (A and B represent the two ends of a cable, respectively.)

Table4-1 Straight-through cable pinouts

Pinout No.	A	B
1	Orange/white	Orange/white
2	Orange	Orange
3	Green/white	Green/white
4	Blue	Blue
5	Blue/white	Blue/white
6	Green	Green
7	Brown/white	Brown/white
8	Brown	Brown

Table4-2 Crossover cable pinouts

Pinout No.	A	B

2	Orange	Green
3	Green/white	Orange/white
4	Blue	Blue
5	Blue/white	Blue/white
6	Green	Orange
7	Brown/white	Brown/white
8	Brown	Brown

NOTE:

To avoid affecting communication quality, strictly follow the pinouts in the above tables when identifying or making the two types of Ethernet cables.

Making an Ethernet cable

1. Cut the cable to a required length with the crimping pliers.

2. Strip off an appropriate length of the cable sheath. The length is typically that of the RJ-45 connector.

3. Untwist the pairs so that they can lay flat, and arrange the colored wires based on the wiring specifications.

4. Cut the top of the wires even with one another. Insert the wires into the RJ-45 end and make sure the wires extend to the front of the RJ-45 end and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ-45 end and in the correct order.

5. Crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimping pliers until you hear a click.

6. Use a cable tester to verify the connectivity of the cable.

Connecting an Ethernet cable

1. Plug one end of an Ethernet twisted pair cable into the copper Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) to be connected on the router and the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port of the peer device. The 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports of the router support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They are connected to the network through category-5 or above twisted pairs that are equipped with RJ-45 connectors.

2. Verify the status LED of the Ethernet ports. For more information about the LED status, see H3C SR6616 Routers Hardware Information and Specifications.

Connecting a fiber cable

Transceiver modules

A transceiver module and a fiber cable with an LC or MPO connector are required for connecting a fiber port.

· SFP transceiver modules—Connecting 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet fiber ports and SFP ports on some HIMs.

· XFP transceiver modules—Connecting XFP ports on the HIM-1EXP.

· SFP+ transceiver modules—Connecting GE SFP+ ports on the MCP-X2.

· QSFP+ transceiver modules—Connecting 40GE QSFP+ ports on the MIC-QP1L.

Fiber cables

About fiber cables

You can use an optical fiber to connect a fiber Ethernet port or 10 Gbps Ethernet port. In addition, an optical fiber can connect these types of interface modules: HIM-4GBP/HIM-8GBP, HIM-CL1P/HIM-CL2P, HIM-CLS1P/HIM-CLS2P, HIM-MSP2P/HIM-MSP4P, HIM-PS1P, HIM-AL1P/HIM-AL2P, HIM-RS2P, HIM-1EXP, and MIC-QP1L.

Optical fibers feature low loss and long transmission distance.

Optical fibers can be classified into single-mode fibers and multi-mode fibers. A single-mode fiber carries only a single ray of light; a multi-mode fiber carries multiple modes of lights.

Table4-3 Characteristics of single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers

Item	Single-mode fiber	Multi-mode fiber
Core	Small core (10 micrometers or less)	Larger core than single-mode fiber (50 micrometers, 62.5 micrometers or greater)
Dispersion	Less dispersion	Allows greater dispersion and therefore, signal loss exists.
Light source and transmission distance	Users lasers as the light source often within campus backbones for distance of several thousand meters	Uses LEDs as the light source often within LANs or distances of a couple hundred meters within a campus network

Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system. They allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging and maintenance more convenient. There are multiple types of fiber connectors. Figure4-9 and Figure4-10 shows an LC connector and MPO connector, respectively

Figure4-9 LC connector

Figure4-10 MPO connector

Restrictions and guidelines

Some cards on the router provide dust plugs for the fiber ports (such as SFP ports). Before using such fiber ports, remove the dust plugs. Keep the dust plugs secure. When the fiber ports are not in use, install the dust plugs.

Fiber connectors are fitted with dust caps. Keep the dust caps secure when the fiber connectors are in use. Install dust caps when the fiber connectors are not in use to avoid damage to their end face. Replace the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.

Before connecting an optical fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the two fiber connectors. You can brush the end faces only in one direction.

After a fiber is installed well, the bend radius must be not less than 10 cm (3.94 in).

To pass a fiber through a metallic board hole, make sure the hole has a sleek and fully filleted surface (the filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm, or 0.08 in). To pass a fiber through a metallic board hole or bend it along the acute side of mechanical parts, make sure the fiber wears jackets or cushions.

Insert and remove a plug with care. Never exert a fierce force to the fiber or plug; otherwise the plug might be damaged or the fiber might be broken. Never pull, press or extrude the fiber fiercely. For the allowed maximum tensile load and crush load, see Table4-4.

Table4-4 Allowed maximum tensile force and crush load

Period of force	Tensile load (N)	Crush load (N/mm)
Short period	150	500
Long term	80	100

6 Replacement procedures

The router uses a modular, all-pluggable design, and supports replacing hot swappable modules without interrupting the router operation.

Safety recommendations

1. Always wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves when replacing the modules.

2. When working with a removable module, such as an MPU, RPE-X1/RPE-X3/RPE-X5/RPE-X5E carrier (used when you use an RPE-X1/RPE-X3/RPE-X5/RPE-X5E MPU), FIP module, SAP module, switching fabric module, memory module, CF card, or HIM/MIM/MIC, follow these guidelines:

¡ Ensure good alignment with the slot to avoid damage to the module during installation or removal.

¡ Before removing a module, make sure the captive screws are completely loosened. Otherwise, the panel of the module might be deformed.

¡ Avoid touching any components on the PCB during observing or moving the module.

¡ Put the removed module on an antistatic workbench with the PCB side facing upward or place them in antistatic bags.

Replacing a power supply

The replacement procedure of an AC power supply is the same as a DC power supply. This section takes an AC power supply as an example.

To replace a power supply:

1. Loosen the captive screws of the power supply to be removed until all spring pressure is released.

2. Gently pull the power supply out of the slot along the slide rails.

Figure6-1 Pulling out the power supply

3. Put the removed power supply on an antistatic workbench or into an antistatic bag.

4. If you do not install a new power supply in the slot, install a filler panel. To install a power supply, see "Installing a power supply."

Replacing an MPU

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT:

When a module is in unstable state, do not use the reboot command to trigger an active/standby switchover. You can use the display system stable state command to display the system stability and status information.

1. If the router is configured with only one MPU, make sure all power sources to the router are turned off before replacing the MPU.

2. If the router is configured with two MPUs, make sure both MPUs operate correctly before replacing any MPU.

¡ As a best practice to replace the active MPU, execute the reboot command in the system view of the active MPU to trigger an active and standby switchover. For more information about the reboot command, see the command reference manual.

¡ To replace the standby MPU, you can remove it immediately.

Port configuration and management

Configuring a combo interface

Combo interface overview

A combo interface is a logical interface comprising an SFP port of a transceiver module and an RJ-45 Ethernet port. The two ports share one forwarding interface, so they cannot work simultaneously. When you enable either port, the other port is automatically disabled. You can select to activate a port as needed.

Configuration prerequisites

Use the display interface interface-type interface-number command to find out which port is an SFP port and which port is an RJ-45 Ethernet port.

· If the output includes "Media type is not sure, Port hardware type is No connector", it means that the port is an SFP port. For example, the following output shows that GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 is an SFP port.

NOTE:

For more information about the transceiver module displaying commands, see H3C SR6600/SR6600-X Routers Command References.

Saving the current configuration of the router

You can save the current configuration of the router in one of the following methods:

· Fast saving—Executing the save command without the safely keyword. This mode saves the file more quickly but is likely to lose the existing configuration file if the router reboots or the power fails during the process. The fast saving mode is suitable for environments where the power supply is stable.

· Safe saving—Executing the save command with the safely keyword. The mode saves the file more slowly but can retain the configuration file in the router even if the router reboots or the power fails during the process. The safe saving mode is preferred in environments where a stable power supply is unavailable or remote maintenance is involved.

To save the current configuration of the router:

Task

Command

Remarks

Save the current configuration to the specified file, but the configuration file will not be set as the file for the next startup.

Use either command

Available in any view

Save the current configuration to the root directory of the storage medium of the active or standby MPU and specify the file as the startup configuration file that will be used at the next system startup.

save [ safely ]

NOTE:

· The configuration file must be with extension .cfg.

· During the execution of the save command, the startup configuration file to be used at the next system startup might be lost if the router reboots or the power supply fails. In this case, the router will boot with the factory defaults, and after the router reboots, you need to re-specify a startup configuration file for the next system startup.

Rebooting a module or router

When upgrading and maintaining the startup configuration file or configuration file for the router, you need to reboot the router. After you change the operating mode of a MPU or service module, you must restart the corresponding module. To reboot a router, use one of the following methods:

· Use the reboot command to reboot a router.

· Enable the scheduled reboot function at the CLI. You can set a time at which the router can automatically reboot, or set a delay so that the router can automatically reboot within the delay.

· Power on the router after powering it off, which is also called hard reboot or cold start. Powering off a running router causes data loss and hardware damages, and therefore is not recommended.

If you execute the reboot command without specifying the slot keyword, the command reboots the router, including the active MPU, standby MPU, the switching fabric modules, and the service modules.

If the main startup configuration file does not exist, do not use the reboot command to reboot the router or the active MPU. In this case, you should specify the main startup configuration file first, and then reboot the active MPU.

The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting time, the router prompts "REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE" and reboots in one minute.

If you are performing file operations when the router is to be rebooted, the system does not execute the reboot command for security.

Dealing with console login password loss

CAUTION:

Dealing with console login password loss from BootWare menus requires device reboot and is service-disruptive.

How to deal with console login password loss depends on the state of password recovery capability (see Figure8-1). Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from BootWare menus.

· If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration without authentication and configure new passwords.

· If password recovery capability is disabled, a console user must restore the factory-default configuration before configuring new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the main and backup next-startup configuration files.

To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.

Figure8-1 Dealing with console login password loss

Examining the state of password recovery capability
